Circular 86 [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
Reindeer in western Alaska have been described as a free-ranging, semi-domesticated animal. Herd management is minimal and animals are less tractable when compared to domestic livestock.

The Distribution Characteristics of Frost Heaving Forces on Tunnels in Cold Regions Based on Thermo-Mechanical Coupling

open access: yesApplied Sciences
To address the freezing damage to tunnel lining caused by frost heaving of the surrounding rock in water-rich tunnels in cold regions, a numerical thermo-mechanical coupling model for tunnel-surrounding rock that considers the anisotropy of frost heave ...

Ceiling-Floor Partition Separation: What Is It and Why Is It Occurring? [PDF]

open access: yes, 1989
This publication is intended to increase the understanding of cracking or separation of finish materials occasionally found in light-frame wood construction. In many cases, the problem is caused by shrinking or swelling of the wood framing members due to

Assessment of Frost Depth and Frost Heave in Romania

open access: yesApplied Sciences
The investigation of extreme weather and climate events has gained momentum in the last few decades, spurred in part by political involvement. However, not enough attention has been paid to the historical recorded data of climate monitoring. An accurate estimate of maximum soil frost depth is an important factor in determining construction costs and ...

Public Perceptions of the Midwest’s Pavements - Wisconsin - Phase I (Winter Ride) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
The Wisconsin Winter Ride Survey was designed to determine the extent to which drivers were tolerant of the rougher ride of pavements on rural two-lane highways in the winter.

Frost-heaving in soils

open access: yes, 1966
A literature survey shows that present interest in frost action research is focused on thermodynamic properties of the ice-water interface. This aspect of the freezing process is a fascinating field for research and much progress is being made, but there are many other equally important aspects, when ice-lensing is involved in the freezing process.
